"If he could learn to love another, and earn her love in return by the time the last petal fell,then the spell would be broken.If not, he would be doomed to remain a beast for all time.As the years passed, he fell into despair and lost all hope.For who could ever learn to love a beast?"

"Love doesn't lead to the dark side.Passion can lead to rage and fear, and can be controlled, but passion is not the same thing as love.Controlling your passions while being in love, that's what they should teach you to beware,but love itself will save you, not condemn you."— Jolee Bindo, Knights of the Old Republic

"First comes the dayThen comes the night.After the darknessShines through the light.The difference, they say,Is only made rightBy the resolving of grayThrough refined Jedi sight."

"Kylo swore his loyalties were only to Snoke.But he was intrigued when he captured Rey, a Jakku scavenger whose Force abilities were raw but very powerful.A mysterious connection seemed to link the two."~ StarWars.com {The Force Awakens}

Chapter 1 ~ Who's That Girl?

:idea: FOCUS, FATE AND FASCINATION :idea:

Quote:

KYLO: "The girl I've heard so much about[...] Forget the droid, we have what we need"

JJ Abrams ('The Force Awakens' Co-Writer/Director): "So the idea here is that Kylo Ren’s gotten inside of Rey’s head, sees that she has seen the map and is now letting go of the droid as his goal, and focusing just on her. And clearly you think, well he must be able to just extract the information he wants now.But because he’s taken her, you get a sense that there might be something else going on here."

REY: "Where am I?" / KYLO: "...You're my guest"KYLO: "You're so lonely... So afraid to leave... At night, desperate to sleep" / REY: "You... You're afraid"SNOKE: "And the droid?" HUX: "Ren believed it was no longer valuable to us... That the girl was all we needed"

JJ Abrams: "Because of Vader, I think you expect him to need the mask. That, like Vader, it’s some kind of breathing apparatus, some sort of necessity. But when his mask comes off, you see Adam Driver[...] And he just looks like a sort of Prince."Rayne Roberts (LucasFilm): "There's something profound that happens between them. [Lawrence] Kasdan describes it as an "energy" between them, something more than you'd expect."

KYLO: "It's just us, now [...] I could show you the ways of The Force" / REY: "The Force..."SNOKE: "You have compassion for her. I perceive the problem. It isn't her strength that is making you fail. It's your weakness"

JJ Abrams: "What you really care about is what’s gonna happen in the forest between these two characters who are now alone."Rachael (JournaloftheStarWars.com) "There is no mention of Snoke or even the Dark side – Kylo is intent only on Rey, and the offer he makes is an offer made between the two of them [...] his regard for and fascination with Rey win out over his duty to Snoke. He selfishly wants her to himself"Adam Driver: "The title of 'The Force Awakens' wasn’t just referring to the light side, it was the dark side as well."

"Under Luke’s tutelage, Rey learned to feel the Force around her and understand her connection to it.But as her powers grew, her connection with Kylo strengthened as well –and Rey became certain that their fates were somehow intertwined."~ StarWars.com {The Last Jedi}

LA Times: "I’ve got a catchy name for Rey and Kylo’s sexy “Force connection” sessions for you: “ForceTime.”Rian Johnson: "I’ve heard “Force Skyping,” but that’s good!""Tom Shone (Sunday Times): "Think of it as the Force’s answer to texting. Soon they are at it like teenagers."Rian Johnson {TLJ Blu-Ray Commentary}: "[Adam and Daisy] were never not off-camera for each other."

KYLO: "You have that look in your eyes, from the forest..."

Tom Shone: "The lightsabers are not the only thing giving off extra heat these days."The New Paper: "The push and pull plays out like a seduction, and their palpable chemistry makes it all work."

Quote:

REY: "It isn't too late."

Blake Howard (Graffiti With Punctuation Blog): "In the wake of Rey and Kylo’s final confrontation in “The Force Awakens” they are inexplicably connected. In this series, we see that their connection allows them to communicate across the galaxy like they’re talking across the room. These interactions feature some of the best and most sorely missed chemistry in the series since “Empire.”"

Kevin Litman-Navarro (Jstor Daily): "You have chemistry with someone because part of that person’s identity is, in fact, part of yours. We recognize this on a metaphorical level in the way we speak of couples. Rey and Kylo Ren become Reylo, and there is no conservation of identity. [...] No wonder #Reylo is #goals. It’s a single thing, a separate entity, decentralized across two minds—a Gordian knot of Strange Loops, braided, intertwined, and inseparable."Tom Shone: "The subtitle of this movie ought to have been Inter-Galactic Bad Boys and the Women Who Love Them."

:thud: "A PERFECT TEAM" :thud:

Quote:

KYLO: "I know what I have to do." / REY: "Ben!"

Tom Shone: "There’s one great scene where they briefly join forces and slay a roomful of Snoke’s lieutenantsthat is just crying out for a climactic, blood-drenched kiss."Joanna Robinson (Vanity Fair): "I can say no moment draws more audible gasps and applause than when Adam Driver’s Kylo Ren and Daisy Ridley’s Rey whirl around in brief slow-motion, stand back-to-back, and take on a room of their shared enemies together.It’s the sexiest moment in a franchise that already featured a young Han Solo answering Leia’s earnest “I love you” with a smoldering “I know.”Joseph Schmidt (ComicBook.com): "Seeing the two work together was one of the best moments in the saga."

KYLO: "Rey... I want you to join me. We can rule together, create a new order in the galaxy.[...] You have no place in this story! You come from nothing, you're nothing... But not to me. Join me... Please."

Brogan Morris (Vice): "One of the most beautifully twisted declarations of love ever uttered in a family blockbuster,before quietly pleading with her to join him like he’s the most desperately lonely person in the universe."Rian Johnson ('The Last Jedi Writer/Director): "I don't think that he's playing chess there. I think that this is something that he genuinely saw, and genuinely believes that because of this connection [they share], basically. It's less like, 'I can use this on her.' It's more,'Oh my god, we have this in common, this is more of a kindred spirit that even she realizes.'"[...]It's a very naked, open, emotional appeal.It's his version of, 'I'm just a girl standing in front of a guy'..."Kevin Smith (Filmmaker/Actor): "You can tell, he genuinely cares about her."Ben Morris (The Last Jedi VFX Supervisor): "They just had this horrific fight, but Rian wanted this incredible intimacy and this cascading, twinkling waterfall of sparks from the fight before.I think it's beautifully executed and it gives such ambiance to that moment, as they come together and have a conversation, before they tear the saber in half."

Michael Semanick: "There’s one time when the force connection catches them off guard —when Kylo had just gotten done working out and Rey was walking somewhere..."Rian Johnson: "...The unavoidable intimate conversation with this person that she wants to just hate."Matt Martin (LucasFilm): "He actually spent a lot of time shirtless, just hoping for that connection to kick in."

Michael Semanick: "Rian wanted the rain and fire to peel away as their hands were getting closer. Having a big sound there just didn’t have the intimacy that the scene demanded. It can be so hard to get the balance right to where the audience is feeling the same thing as the characters. I wanted the audience to lean in and feel those hands about to connect. When you take the sound out and the music out, then it’s just two hands coming together slowly. It was about finding that balance to make the audience feel like they’re in that moment, in that little hut, and they’re about to touch and see into each other’s souls, so to speak. That was a challenge, but it was fun because when you get it, and you see the audience react, everyone feels good about that scene."LA Times to Rian: "So … is this the first time Kylo has ever held hands with a girl?"Rian Johnson: "I actually talked about that with Adam. Adam was like, “So … have I actually kissed a girl before?”Daisy Ridley {TLJ Special Features, 'The Director & The Jedi'}: "It’s only when they touch that either of them actually see what could be.And through that they build this kind of incredible intimacy.Luke should be the one nurturing Rey, and it’s actually Kylo that is."
